Текст песни Кому Вниз — Привид з гаю

Краткое описание

This song, titled «Кому Вниз — Привид з гаю» (translated as «To Whom Down — Ghost from the Grove»), is a poetic composition that vividly describes the beauty and mystery of nature. The lyrics paint a picture of wild steppes, cold ravines, dark forests, and vast meadows. The land is portrayed as being plowed by the divine plow of the day. The song takes us on a journey through winding paths and unexplored lands, specifically a place called «Зелений Гай» (Green Grove). In this enchanted grove, where body and soul unite, a blind minstrel laughs in his long dream. The ghost of the night and day roams in this joyful and generous grove, gazing at the stars that have already risen in that land. The identity of this ghost remains a mystery, whether it sows sorrow and longing or if it is a smiling Cossack returning to his mother. The song suggests that whatever one desires, they shall find. Whether it is hope or their own death, as long as the ghost continues to wander in that grove. The song concludes with the faithful son of that land, who takes honor into his hands and fires bullets into the chair. The mountain fox dances the hopak, and wormwood sways along. However, the ghost belongs to no one but itself, simply wandering in that grove until the sun triumphs. The night counts the days in the Green Grove, and the nightingale awakens and sings. Something falls from the sky into the river, falls asleep, and becomes the berries of the sky. From these berries, oaks will grow, and from the oaks, fruits will fall. From these fruits, fools will emerge, all of them faithful sons to the land.
